Thoughts
First day at db, got there there was one other dude there and it was like 30 degrees inside. Fcking cold, like hard to get loose cold. Sure enough, by the time I finished it warmed up. Others dude showed up and were floor pressing w chains, and another crew deadlifted when I finished.

Introduced myself to everyone, JJ brought his dog, wife and 4 yr old. Achilles felt ok as long as I kept it stretched out. I think that'll be the norm going forward. Going tomorrow and do some light squatting. I guess there will be a crew doing back.

Just trying to get to know everyone at this point. Oh yeah, there's a kegerator against the wall...

Solid session man. Deads and rows always for the win. Is this a 5/3/1 setup with joker sets?

Thanks, I do a 351, it's one of wendlers variations. I just tossed some singles on at the end to test the Achilles. I've always done pendlay's for assistance, and judging by how my traps feel, the snatch grips are going to stay too.

Txs bro keeping it stretched is going to be the key. It still pulls some times but that's scar tissue that I have to break up...

Well, it's over, and I was nervous. Got through it w/o any issues other than I'm weak as fck. Kept the Achilles stretched before and after each set. Had no intention going any heavier, I'll prolly back off to sets of 135 for a couple weeks. It was a balmy 45 in db today.

So many things I could teach you to say to break the ice... Pm me if you want help

I'm good, thanks.

I'm going to attempt to rebuild my squat from the ground up. Kept a narrowish stance and dropped pretty fast to get some bounce. Polar opposite of how I've always squatted. Don't foresee getting into the suit until I'm repping 315 again...

Oh yeah, used a buffalo bar for the first time...

Squats are the main thing bro. Gym looks badass, but no way I could get loose and train in 45 degrees
